Things went pretty well during these past two weeks of transition. I've been worried about the Temps dropping below 16 degrees celc. So I ordered a mini heater for the tent. It should have been here today but got delayed til tomorrow. Either way they're both showing deficiency and temperature damage. You can see a slight wilt on both girls as a result of these crazy cold Temps. The leaves on both are also starting to turn purple at the veins. Their top growth looks nice and healthy, however. Need to get that heater ASAP. I'll update this journal once I've gotten it.
Update: Got my heating solutions all up and running! Keeps the tent between 19-23 degrees. Celcius. Perfect! The girls are already looking like they're picking back up to speed. Got two gelatos I'm trying to vet in the tent along with them, but the ChemP's will be the ones getting the most light.
Plants look great, really green and healthy๐
Question?
If these plants are autos? Why the switch to a 12/12
light schedule? Just thinking you will lose alot of yeild
this way as autos don't need the light flipped to 12 hrs a day.
It's like your taking 6 hrs of bud building away from your plants.
I like running 18/6, just so the plants get a little rest at lights out.
I had to ask the question, inquiring minds would like to know..
Have a great day!!!
@northernMike, Oh yeah, I've used them as a resource for years now! Absolutely indispensable when you're a newbie/amateur like me. And yeah, I'll just stick to the 12/12. I really don't want to stress these girls because they're pretty happy so far. No need to rain on their parade. Cheers m8! โ๐
@RunWithIt,Not to sure how it would affect the plants by switching back and forth,
I'm sure they would experience a bit of stress. Maybe try and up the hours of light a
little at a time if possible, if not just keep doing what your doing and change on the
next run of autos, I'm sure you'll notice the difference, I hope this helps..
Every grow is an experiment, I'm still learning and trying different things on every
grow, Tons of fun!! Luck with your next experiment๐๐
